Pokémon vs. Digimon

Pokémon (not Antonio)

Are we talking about games, about TV shows, or about the franchises as a whole? The poll title is rather misleading in light of the point you're obviously trying to make.

Well as a whole but that'd be mostly the games. I never liked the TV show for either (my brother watched both and I found them both painful)

[Antonio the Sixth]

My comments were specifically about the TV shows. The Pokemon show is a worthless merchandising vehicle. Digimon, like it or not, had real effort and creativity put into it.

Pokemon has the better games, Digimon has the better show.

The show left a bigger impact than the games ever did for me.

Digimon is obviously the superior anime. I've never played any of the Digimon games, so I can't comment on how they compare to Pokemon.

Digimon (not a 5 year-old)

Were there some guys that seriously watched the Pokémon Anime?

Still, the Pokémon games were so great they beat Digimon on every level, period.

Pokémon overall.

I was between 8-10 when the Pokémon fad was in full swing (1999-2001), loved both the games and TV show, along with the movies and merchandise. Haven't played any of the new games in years, but I still love the Kanto/Johto games.

I could never really get into Digimon back in the day (came on TV over my way when I was 10), despite my best efforts, and have never really had the incentive to re-visit it, unlike Pokémon.

I was about the same age range and I waged war on the franchise and despised. I got into anime in 2005 with the 2003 Fullmetal Alchmist reruns on Adult Swim. Recently, I have dropped my negative outlook and have begun to watch episodes of the Pokémon either to confirm my previous negative opinion or see if I was missing out on something good.

Pokemon, obviously . Tbh, I thought that Digimon disappeared like 10 years ago.

In the West, it all but did - due to people like you who can't recognize true greatness.
